We have heard much about big : ' business men and small business ■ nu n and we have often wondered ' Just what the dividing line was. | Stuart Chase of the TN EC has: cleared It all up by putting them ilu the right niches.

Il had been announced that it was not political i but according to reports his talk was entirely a tirade against the administration. Holding political meetings on Sunday is something entirely new for Indiana but an | ex president probably has that ad vantage of doing what he wants when he wants to. There is a • probability that Mr. Hoover would I like to be drafted to be the • andi- . date for president in 194 V but its doubtful if Indiana will 'do much ' I er editors still remember his pre- ] vioua record. Th'-rv was a big news story in N Pittsburgh the other day. A maoperation in a steel plant with i whhh a crew of six men turned » out flu tuns of tin plate tn an cight-hour day. Before thia machine was invented, it took a crew of five men on the old-style hand < mills eight hours to turn out ’ ten tons ot tin plate. From ten tons to 443 tons is sure stepping 1 up production. The uew machine, | i however, is expensive. It costs, I to build. Twenty-six of < them are now operating. Ythi have been wondering how many , men have lost their jobs. The re-11 search department of the steel * company told reporters. The com , pany eliminated M.OOO jobs; That word "eliminated" was wisely i chosen. It sounded better than saylug. S&.tnxi men were thrown outof work. But that la the brutal i truth. ' : i la America so bad ug?
